Hinduism

Tukaram, Poem 3573

They look on strings of gems as though they were glass; they despise them, and put them aside on their own judgment.
The bent of their minds interferes with their eye-sight; their ignorance brings a loss on them.
They look on the cow of wishes as though it were a common cow or buffalo; and a common cow they look on as if she were the other.
Tuka says, Why need I say much about them? Their practices are suited to themselves.
